The view of children and childhood in CCE? Satire and anarchy. Fighting and bullying other students. How the NPCs react depend on their age, gender or whether they are prefects or cops. Differences in how a "crime" is seen and how punishment is issued. Gametime: Real time and fictional time. Cut-scenes, set time for classes, Jimmy's bedtime and curffew, Seasons and chapters. Upgrades through minigames: English, gym, chemistry, art and shop, + streetfighting. Better apologies, fighting skills, weapon crafting, taking photographs for the yearbook and bikes. Powerups not just "available" or "unlockable" - progress through hard work.
